Once you have formatted the file like this you just read line by line and explode each line on the "|". Then compare the first element of the exploded line with the current date (formatted using d-m-Y) and if there is a match you display the second element of the line.

You won't really learn much with me handing you the script either though....

Read up on these functions (use php.net):fopen - used to open filesexplode - used to turn strings into arrays using a separatordate - generates a formatted date according to given formatstrtotime - takes a given string and returns number of seconds since epochfgets - grabs a line of text from an open fileecho - outputs text to the browser
